That sums it up quite well except the Northern Irish aren't actually fighting much any more and we've all got some banter not just the Geordy scum.TheReal_ND wrote:

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: Europe Boring Until it's Not
The protests are a response to Romanian government rolling back anti-corruption laws. According to their new rules, you're not getting charged if your corruption "earnings" extend beyond 48K$. According to protesters and the political opposition, the rollback's because most of those in jail for corruption are buddies with government officials.... which seems a damned reasonable assumption.TheReal_ND wrote: Shits going down in Romania.
The EU Commission (oh, irony of ironies) even came out and responded to the protests by agreeing with the protestors that corruption should be discouraged, not defended. Despite the source, they're right of course.. Makes you wonder how Romania got into the EU in the first place...
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
